Fantasy managers backing goals for both Liverpool and Palace

The most captained and most transferred in player of Gameweek 2 will both be at the heart of the action as the latest round of matches draws to a close.

Sadio Mané (£9.7m) was snapped up by 487,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers after his brace against West Ham in Gameweek 1, and he is in the starting line-up tonight.

Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park having won 2-1 on their last visit back in March. The events of that meeting bode well for Mané and the 54 percent owned Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who both found the net.

Not surprisingly, the Egyptian is the most captained player in Gameweek 2, with 1.4 million managers handing him the armband.

Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), backed by 17 percent of Fantasy managers, also registered an assist during his last trip to Selhurst Park, as well as in Gameweek 1 of 2018/19.

There will also be much interest in the exploits of each side’s forwards tonight with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) the second most-owned option in this encounter, his 35 percent following second only to Salah. Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is not far behind the Brazilian in third place with a backing of 31 percent.

After emerging as a fantastic budget option in Gameweek 1, Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes into his second match of the season now priced at £4.1m and in 22.5 percent of squads.

Tonight’s Monday night match should definitely have a big impact on the outcome of Gameweek 2.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Man i had Vvd for the 1st game
    And it's so painful seeing Robertson do that !
    🙁

  7. Ibralicious

    Salah didn't have Robertson in his FPL, would rather have an assist for himself...

    2FT
    A) Bilva + King -> Mkhi + Zaha

    B) King -> Ings

  9. Shifty

    Now that have sold Salah to allow for Augero, need Liverpool coverage.

    With Salah funds I can upgrade Stephen to Milner.

      milner is a major rotation risk

  10. Chi not God

    What in the world was that salah???!! Ruined that Rob assist..

  11. Texas Pete
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thought that was 2-0 then.

  12. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I thought that was going to be Robertson assist, Salah goal! FFS

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      So did everyone

  13. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    That was it...

  14. FantaCity
    • 11 Years

    Hennessey looking really strong ... think I've found my Patricio replacement

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It's between him and Ryan for me

      1. FantaCity
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Has Pool, Spurs & City in next 5 ... after that looks great, but think Hennessey is the form keeper of the two

    Is Mané the only likely price riser tonight?

        I'm not to familiar with how it works. For example, is a Cook at 92.3% likely to go up?

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      It all depends on what he does for the rest of this game. Is ownership could grind to a halt. Although if salah does no more then i expect sales and mane will benefit from some of those no doubt.

        Alright! Thanks 🙂

    Anyone that says salah needs to do better knows nothing. most strikers kick that straight into the keeper. He dinked it over to keep the chance live and did so.

    Unbelievable

      Everyone that disagrees with any of my opinions are also wrong.
